Four Oklahoma men missing after going on bike ride
Four men from a tiny Oklahoma city are still missing days
after they all went on a bike ride together Sunday evening, according to
authorities.
Mark Chastain, 32; his brother Billy Chastain, 30; Mike
Sparks, 32; and Alex Stevens, 29 haven’t been seen or heard from in about four
days with little indication where they could be, police said in a Facebook post
this week.
The four men were reported missing Monday into Tuesday after
they left one of their homes with bicycles in the city of Okmulgee around 8
p.m. Sunday, police said.
Someone claimed seeing the missing men walking on a street
around 2 a.m. Tuesday, but police could not confirm that report. Other reported
sightings during the week have also not been confirmed, cops said.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice told Fox 23 authorities
were scouring a salvage yard where the cell phone of Mark Chastain’s was last
pinged.
Only two of the men had cell phones on them when they went
out, authorities believe, though their cell phones go straight to voicemail.
“The longer they’re missing, the more concerned I am but I
have yet to find any evidence that there’s any foul play involved,” Prentice
said.
The police department said Thursday in another Facebook
post, “We will continue to investigate and are following any evidence we
uncover.
Mark Chastain’s wife told Fox News Digital she was
heartbroken by the situation.
“I know nothing, and I’m feeling lost. I’m heartbroken. I’m
sad. I have so many mixed emotions and thoughts,” Jessica Chastain said.
“As far as I know,
nothing has been recovered. Nothing has been found. There is no sign of foul
play.”
Okmulgee has a population of more than 11,000 and is roughly
38 miles south of Tulsa.
